Here's the thing, the mod felt DM crossed the line of not staying on topic after being warned, he may not have thought the others did.
That's his opinion, and he is the mod.
You don't think that is so, but nobody cares because you are not a mod.
Simple solution would have been for her to leave the thread, she chose staying and the ban.
How I would feel if it happened to me?
It wouldn't because I would have left!

I have zero points, and have not earned points in over three years now. However, I do think it best for the guidelines to be applied fairly and consistently regardless of the handle that posts the offending texts.
I can't be all over the board, and admittedly, I pay attention to what interests me. DM is a friend, so yes, I take interest in her posts. I saw something happen in this instance that I felt needed questioning, not only for DM but for the board as a whole. Yes, at times I am quite an idealist.
A broken record is annoying, even to my own ears. The squeaky wheel gets the oil...cliche cliche cliche...etc. however, like I said above, I am not embarrassed.
Despite the backs and forth and off topic temptations, I am here staying the course. It is that important to me: It is my hope that no matter who the poster is, that the guidelines be applied evenly; that is all.
The target audience was reached a long time ago. Like I said, I am done when others are done and only return to keep it on track.
P.S. Katrina. Why would I or should I be embarrassed? If I had a tail it would be wagging and down for the cause...and definitely NOT between my legs...lol...but thanks for your concern. No, really, thank you.
